The Real Wolf of Wall Street

Jordan Belfort, Daniel Alonso and Kelly Evans with Thane Rosenbaum

Sorry!

Convicted in 1999 of securities fraud and money laundering, Jordan Belfort served 22 months in jail and was ordered to pay restitution for his crimes.

Law professor Thane Rosenbaum leads a legal analysis and discussion with defendant Jordan Belfort, former Asst. U.S. Attorney Daniel R. Alonso, one of the lead prosecutors in the case, and CNBC’s “Closing Bell” co-anchor Kelly Evans about the law, business and culture of Wall Street and what happens—or should happen—when laws governing the public market for securities are violated.

Trials & Error presents serious legal analysis and discussion of high profile trials that have caught the imagination of the public and the media. Often, what turns a legal trial into a cultural phenomenon is the gnawing sense that justice was not served; questions linger in the public’s mind about whether these trials have resulted somehow in moral or ethical error. The series brings together key players from a range of perspectives—defendants, plaintiffs, lawyers and members of the press—to discuss a particular trial, specifically addressing the thorny legal and ethical dimensions of each case, how it was portrayed in the media and how it was, and still is, perceived by the general public. The series is produced by former longtime Assistant Manhattan District Attorney, Joel Seidemann. CLE credit is offered for New York State lawyers.
